BUTTON.

Application filed November 4, 1911.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, JOI-IAN OLSEN NY- GAARD, a subject of the King of Norway, residing at Christiania, Norway, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Buttons; and I do hereby declare the following to be a full, clear, and exact descrip tion of the invention, such as will enable others skilled in the art to which it apper tains to make and use the same, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, and to letters or figures of reference marked thereon, which form a part of this specification.

My invention relates to buttons and has for its object to provide simple and safe means for fastening the button to the fabric, and it consists of the features of construction and combination of parts hereinafter fully described and claimed.

Reference is to be had to the accompanying drawings forming a part of this specification and in which a button embodying my invention is illustrated.

Figure l is a side view of the button attached to a garment. Fig. 2 is section on the line A-A on Fig. 3. Fig. 3 is a plan view of the structural part of the button. Fig. 4. is a sectional side view. Fig. 5 is a section on line zv-m of Fig. 4.

Referring to the drawings the structural part of the rim 1 consists of a wire 2 which is bent to form a split-ring. From the split 3 one of the ends of the wire is bent at right angles to form a cross-bar 4: in the ring, and has a pointed end 5 adiacent to the opposite side of the ring. In the center of the ring the cross-bar is bent to form a crook or loop 6. The split-ring forming the structural part of the button-head is covered by a thin plate 7 which can be made of metal, cellu- Specifieation of Letters Patent.

loid or the like. The button-head also if desired can be covered by fabric, and it may be made of one or more layers.

To fasten the button the pointed crossbar 4 is bent down and run through the fabric like a safety pin, whereafter it springs back into its original position as shown in Fig. 1, being fastened to the fabric by means of the loop or crook 6.

To bend the cross-bar 4 for running it through the fabric, any short pin or piece of wire can be used for this purpose. As clearly shown in Figs. 4 and 5 a thin metal plate 8 is placed between the plate 7 and the wire 2. In this plate 8 an ear 9 is punched to form a recess for the point 5 of the crossbar 4.

lVhat I claim is:

A button for fastening garments, comprising a circular covering plate of any suitable material having its edge bent inwardly to form an annular bead, a split ring inserted into said head for stiffening the periphery of the plate, said ring having a pointed bar extending substantially across the diameter thereof and having a central 100p projecting out of the plane of the ring and forming an eye, and a metal plate clamped between the ring and the covering plate and having a punched out portion depending therefrom and forming a pocket for the pointed end of the bar, said pocket being so disposed as not to project outside the cavity of the back of the button.

In testimony that I claim the. foregoing as my invention, I have signed my name in presence of two subscribing witnesses.
